Fixing that public benefit corporation shield law

The legislation, with a key amendment, is headed to the House floor
for a final vote after being approved by the Committee on Civil Law and
Procedure.

The original bill attempted to make it more difficult for a losing
bidder by requiring the developer to post cash or security to file a
lawsuit. The amount would have reached into the tens of millions of
dollars for projects like the World Trade Center, which is owned by the
New Orleans Building Corp. The requirement -- which would have applied
to current and pending lawsuits -- was scratched under an amendment by
Committee Chairman Raymond Garofalo.

Anyway, they're still going to court in October. There's a remote possibility that the judge will make them restart the bidding process. But then there's also a remote possibility a sinkhole could just swallow the whole building by then.
